Curious
how you did in Saturday’s River Walk/Run? Here’s the
complete list of
River Walk/Run results, in handy Adobe Acrobat PDF

According to the timekeepers, some racers forgot
to put their names on their timing cards, so if you can’t
find yourself on the list, that’s probably why.

RiverFest t-shirt sale

Get an awesome deal on a great t-shirt. It’s the perfect
reminder of last weekend’s fun on the river!

$5 each at IPFW’s University Relations office, in the
Support Services building on the IPFW Campus.

Payment

Please bring exact change in cash or you can write a
personal check. (Sorry, we can’t accept credit cards for
these.)

Where to buy

It’s easy to find — just come in through the Anthony
Boulevard entrance to campus, then follow the drive past the
Science Building and the Liberal Arts building. When you get
to the end of the road, look for a parking space. University
Relations shares the same building with the University

on it, but you probably figured that out already.)

basis. Shirt sizes currently available:

Zip line continues through Monday

It
took a lot of work to set it up, so why not run it for a few
more days?

That’s right! The zip line continues running
both Sunday and Monday. Enjoy special pricing both days as
well, with two rides for $20 (or one ride for $15).

The zip line is open from 10am to 8pm on Sunday, and noon
to 8pm on Monday. The high pressure shower head guru
will be there giving away the best
high pressure
shower heads to the first 5 people. This is a really a
great item. Just check out the
high
flow and pressure. So get there early.

Bring your friends for a better deal. Enjoy the IPFW
RiverFest zip line now through Monday night!

Only 7 chairs left!

We warned you this would happen.

SOLD! "Field at Sunset" by Carita Hoot.

One lucky local buyer snagged Carita Hoot’s beautiful
“Fields at Sunset” chair at its Buy Now price in
the
Rockin’ Chair Auction.

So on Saturday night, you get to look longingly at
Carita’s amazing artwork during the silent auction
festivities at RiverFest, but you can’t buy it.

Did you fall in love with one of these
hand-painted masterpieces? How will it look on your
patio? Or will you keep it at the lake?
